Assembly rejects Castillo's bid to suspend rules for immediate consideration of bill
Summary
Assemblymember Castillo moved to suspend rules to take up 'AB 26 70' immediately citing medical fraud concerns; the motion was seconded and failed on a roll call, Ayes 18, Noes 39.
Assemblymember Castillo moved on the floor to suspend the Assembly rules "to take up AB 26 70 immediately without reference to file in order to protect vulnerable Californians from the ongoing medical fraud crisis and hold criminals accountable," and asked members for a vote.
The motion was seconded; the clerk opened and closed the roll and reported the tally: "Ayes 18, Noes 39," and the presiding officer announced the motion failed. The chair cautioned members on proper decorum and reminded speakers they must speak to the motion when making one rather than arguing the merits.
The session then returned to other business after the failed suspension. No committee referral or further consideration of the motion was recorded in the transcript.
